I sure did! I had an open face club house for dinner so chicken breast, bacon, and cheese! YUMMERS.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
I'm probably the cheapest date - I drink water...LOL. I'm glad you are able to enjoy your drinks/food and still stay on track. I've said from the beginning that I'm going to enjoy what I like to eat because this is not a diet and I'm going to be doing this the rest of my life. It's work for me. I honestly think it's the over eating and taking those extra bites that gets us in trouble.
Good Attitude!

Post Op 16 months TODAY (what what!!!) Where did the time go?? Oh and the scale down another 1/2 pound this morning 172.5.... I might make it to my original goal of 160 yet (someday).
Morning everyone! I left off the good on purpose 
So I decide to take a break from the gym this morning but I forgot to change my alarm. So I'm up, and don't know what to do with myself 
LOL The only good thing is my Trucker got to see me in my cute lil $4 dress find from Walmart!! 
Its been sometime since I've had to cook breakfast at home, so this morning my rant went something like this..."stoooopid eggs, stoooopid veg..." don't have to worry about flippin stuff when you cook it in the microwave at work.
Dinner last night was pretty good, I opted for an open face club house, they make it on pita bread it would have been huge with 3 layers of pita. I ate one half without any of the pita bread and was full!! The other half is in the fridge for a tomorrow snack.
Anyway, a little tired this morning as per usual. 
I do have a job closing this afternoon so that will give me something to do for 20 minutes.
On to the eats. Small confession....my lunch items are actually on a cheese stick from Superstore....I didn't see it in MFP so its not included in my totals ..... I'm not usually a sandwich person but when the mood strikes it has to be on some unique type of bread. I will likely have to spread it over a couple hours because it will fill me up but it will be yummy and I don't do this often for any newbies reading the menu thread today.
B - 1 egg, 1/4 cup egg white, cheese slice and peppers and onions (stooopid eggs)
S - skyr with blueberries
L - 4 slices turkey kielbasa, 1 slice light marble, 1 tbsp. mayo, little lettuce
S - 2 eggs smashed with 1 tbsp. light mayo, 2 slices deli turkey (added to up the protein)
D - bacon wrapped sirloin, 1 cob of corn if its any good
Total Cal 890, Carbs 22, Protein 80 (remember I am having bread so these numbers are a little off)
Low on the protein for me so might have to add something. I bought some delicious looking little snack items at Superstore yesterday. Pep n' Cheddies which is a little meat stick packaged with a little cheese stick, so cute! And I found some pepperoni wrapped mozzarella snacks. Looks yummy and already prepped. Hopefully both are as good as they look.
Have a good day everyone. I have to find something to do now until its time to go to work. Lazy person problem, I should've just gone to the gym!! 
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
That's great you are still going to the gym. I never started exercising because I knew I'd never keep up with it.
Looks good but Hope you got more Protein in.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
It's late afternoon and I'm just getting time to post. Hope you are all having a successful day! It was my turn to pick our 9 yr. old Granddaughter up from her summer classes and take her to lunch. We got to choose between McDonalds or Burger King so we could get back to school/work on time.

Thanks. I am very glad that you are having a positive response to your surgery. I am still awaiting the response from the insurance company.
Not everyone experiences dumping with gastric bypass. I don't. I'm a lightweight but went with MGB surgery (self-pay in Mexico) because of my pre-existing GERD. Great news is my gastric bypass has eliminated acid reflux and my need for daily PPIs (prescription Prilosec).
Good luck with your surgery!
4 mo post RNY
B-Premier Protein 30g bar
MS- rest of above
L- Tuna Packet
AS- rest of above
D- Beef Brisket and 4 oz craft beer
ES- Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate shake
Total Calories: 818 Protein: 98 Carbs: 36 Sugar: 9 Fat: 29
Exercise: 30 minute swim for sure... 2 mile run if I can get it in!
We have an after-work event tonight at a local bar. I'm going to have a "half pour" which is actually 4 oz of beer. I love love love craft beer but thanks to my RNY just an ounce or two will do it for me. I looked up the food trucks that will be there and I can get a 4 oz serving of beef brisket which is a good option! My plan is to go, buy my team a round of drinks, play some ten pin bowling (it's the theme of the bar) then head to the gym by 7pm. Swim then go home and mow the tiny yard! If after mowing it's not too dark, I'll go for a run. I have been prioritizing my exercise over keeping up the house and I now have a hay field for a yard!
Yesterday I had dinner with friends at my house. I smoked a whole filet of salmon and it was delicious! Unfortunately I had a slice of whole grain bread dipped in EVOL while we waited for dinner to be ready. The bread was a sprouted grain type so it didn't raise my total carbs over 30 so I really don't think it was an issue, other than the additional calories? Thoughts?
The 4 oz. of beer would make it a two days in a row alcohol thing which means I'll have maxed out my drinks for the week. I'm OK with that, even knowing that as it's beer I will likely drink less than half of my third of a serving. I love that post RNY I can enjoy the taste of beer and feel totally happy with just a sip or two. I hope this lasts forever! Cheapest date ever!
